Big Brother 11 - is this a short season?

Is Big Brother in for a short season? Say it ain't so! CBS has announced that the Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Sunday, September 13th this year, a week earlier than previously reported. At first glance, it may appear that this will result in a simple Sunday night pre-emption of Big Brother, but football will be airing the following Sunday. Say what?

This leads my trained eye to believe that Big Brother 11 will end on Thursday, September 10th (or even Tuesday the 8th), which means that this will likely be a short nine-week season. Bummer!

Several weeks ago in a segment on CBS's "The Early Show," Julie Chen reported that there will only be ten houseguests this season, and most fans speculated that Julie made a simple mistake when she reported the number. Now, it's looking more and more likely that Julie was correct and Big Brother 11 will be a short season with only ten houseguests as a result. For all you optimists, it's possible that the network will simply switch the show from Sundays to Saturdays in early September to allow for a regular length season, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

ok, I'm confused. What does Sunday football have to do with Big Brother and their schedule? many times football has run long and as a result we had to wait for 60 minutes to air to watch BB so whats the deal?

Chill, dahling. It MAY be a season of "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out Of The Big Brother House"
As a remedy, we can just set up a ton of cameras around YOUR house - we'll all come over and be trapped for 14 weeks! Please visit Costo soon and get a gross of Charmin Ultra Soft for me.
